RE: Curation Won't Grow STEEM Like Commerce Will
Howdy sir Glen! what is your idea for commece?
I just heard about Palnet today and that many steemians were flocking to it, do you know what that is?

Hey, @janton.
The idea about commerce that I mentioned in the post is something I'd rather not divulge yet, until I have a few more pieces in place. It's not really a new concept (it's been done on smaller scales before), but I think if it were executed correctly, it could become a very big deal.
I do have the hope of one day getting my digital comic books and regular fiction available for download. Need to work on all of that, too.
Palnet is basically a Steemit clone (it looks exactly the same) with its own token (PAL) sitting on top of STEEM. I guess the STEEM-Engine folks have built another app called Nitrous that allows you to put together a Steemit clone along with your own token, which I believe means you need to use SCOT. It's still a bit over my head, but basically, people have set up their own rules to govern PALnet, and I people have been posting from there. You can earn PAL and STEEM at the same time.
I've posted once from it this morning, but so far, there's not been any PAL upvotes.
Howdy again sir Glen! well, is there anyone you can give the commerce idea to that will take it under serious consideration, some leader?
Well, this Palnet thing, what is the advantage of using it? Just to get Pal tokens? There are so many apps out there already, I can't even keep track of them.
No one I've seen yet. I was thinking though I wouldn't mind talking to some of us 'older' folk and see what they thought. At any rate, I need to keep working on it.
If there is an advantage, it's in the rules Palnet is set up on. There are certain things that can be done and others that can't. It's like making the changes people want without the hardfork. Or, at least that's how I'm understanding it. So, it's not like just another app. It's like STEEM, but with a different set of rules. I haven't read the white paper yet to see what's allowed and what's not, or whether it will make any difference.
Howdy today sir Glen! I missed this reply of yours last night. But the commerce thing sure sounds interesting, I hope you have time to keep working on it.
As far as Palnet, you don't use Steem and you don't earn any Steem? I understand the appeal of course, if they take out all the stupid features that steemit has like being able to hurt people by downvoting them and flagging and such, but what good is it if the token isn't worth anything?
No, you earn STEEM, but you also might earn PAL. The one post I've done so far did not earn any PAL yet, but the post shows up both on PAL and STEEM, so yes, you earn STEEM (if you were doing that before, it's basically the same), with the chance of earning PAL, however that works. I'm not sure if the reward pool set up is the same, or what. It actually says PAL where the upvote amount is. I'll eventually get over to the white paper. :)
Howdy tonight sir Glen! did you do a post about this yet or are you going to if it looks promising?
I haven't posted about PALnet, no. I don't have a reason to, yet. Aside from maybe making some PAL, I haven't noticed the differences between here and there yet to know if it's that big of deal or not.
Howdy again sir Glen! yes sir, and you'll know more when you study the white papers. It would be nice if they illiminated downvoting and flagging in the form that can do damage to someone's account.
